The New York Geekcast

And they love each other…..aw shucks.

In this episode we discuss what we love/hate about Apple, Microsoft and everything in between. We also try in vain to get Ben Oviatt on Skype and somehow relate everything to ducks and quacking!

We also have a new segment called “Where’s Nelson?!?” where you listen to an audio clip (in episode) of me describing a location that you have to guess. You can e-mail us at thegeeks@nygeekcast.com with the answer and if you guess the location correctly you’ll get a cool prize.
